Description

An elegant Upper East Side apartment perched on the fourth floor of a landmarked Beaux-Arts co-op, this sun-splashed 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is a rare opportunity for investors and homeowners alike. New oversized floor-to-ceiling Georgian windows, original exposed brick, and six Juliet balconies are thoughtful details that provide the perfect base for any design style. The home includes southern exposure, airy 9-ft ceilings and six Juliet balconies facing a quiet courtyard. Past a tasteful entryway adorned with a coat closet and full bathroom, the home flows into a spacious living room and dining room saturated with natural light. The windowed galley-style kitchen is equipped with updated stainless-steel appliances, large cabinets, a washer dryer, and the bathroom has been updated with clean white tiles. Additional storage throughout the living room and hallway completes the home. Spacious and bright, the primary bedroom boasts an expansive closet and an en-suite bathroom that features a stand-up shower. The second bedroom has its own closet and floor to ceiling window, while the third bedroom, which doubles as a home office, features additional storage, and receives plenty of natural light. The Cherokee is a beautiful Beaux Arts landmark situated in a quiet residential enclave on the Upper East Side. The area exudes old world charm and is infused with an elegant European ambiance. Plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes, and shops are within walking distance, and the 6-subway line is 6 blocks away. Residents of the building enjoy a landscaped courtyard, a live-in super, bicycle and package rooms, central storage, and a brand-new laundry room. The Cherokee allow pieds-a-terre, investors, parents buying for children, co-purchasing, and has a liberal sublet policy. Great as permanent residence, pied-a-terre, or investment property. Pets are welcome. Monthly maintenance of $3,035 includes heat, water, gas, electric, and property tax.

The Upper East Side remains the gold standard for classic New York elegance. Known for 'Museum Mile' and its low-traffic, tree-lined streets, the neighborhood offers a refined lifestyle away from the midtown bustle. While famous for its historic cooperatives, the area has seen a recent surge in ultra-luxury new construction condos, particularly along the Second Avenue Subway corridor, making it a top choice for both traditionalists and modern buyers.
